Injury, 08/05/09
Ball CG et al. – The sensitivity of the DRE for identifying urethral disruption is 2%. The majority of patients with urethral trauma undergo urinary catheterization prior to diagnosis of the injury. Additional signs of disruption including meatal blood and hematuria detected prior to catheter insertion are also infrequent. While the DRE remains clinically indicated in patients with penetrating trauma in the vicinity of the rectum, pelvic fractures, and spinal cord injuries, it appears to be insensitive for detecting blunt urethral injuries.
